What happens

Peter Kay's Car Share is a British sitcom set around supermarket assistant manager John Redmond (Peter Kay) and promotions rep Kayleigh Kitson (Sian Gibson), and their participation in a company car-sharing scheme. The first series was filmed in and around Greater Manchester: notably Peter Kay's native Bolton; and Manchester, Trafford and Salford. In December 2015, Kay confirmed a second and supposedly final series had been commissioned. It began airing on 11 April 2017. Filming locations for the second series included: Blair Drummond Safari Park, Bury, Burnley, Nelson, Wirral and Southport. Peter Kay's Car Share won Best Comedy at the 2016, 2018 and 2019 National Television Awards, and the BAFTA TV Awards for Best Male Comedy Performance and Best Scripted Comedy at the 2016 BAFTA TV Awards. The series came to an end in May 2018 when two special episodes broadcast on 7 and 28 May. The first of these, "Peter Kay's Car Share Unscripted", was partially improvised but incorporated prepared radio material and visual gags. The programme returned for an audio special in April 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
